By Wednesday afternoon, 2-3 inches of rain had fallen across most of Dallas-Fort Worth this week with more than 3 inches recorded in eastern portions of North Texas. This will help to counter the rain deficit (-0.93") since the start of the year.
Later Wednesday, severe weather chances are increasing in parts of East Texas and into the Deep South.
Thursday through the weekend will be dry, but additional rain chances return early next week.
